A couple of synthetic bed pillows on the secretary chair at the machine to bring me high enough that my shoulders don't "hunch" while stitching. Another thing, I put PVC pipes on the legs of the cutting table that I made to bring it up to a good height for cutting. If I ever need the table for a buffet I can simply slip them off. PS, I put cap ends on the pipe extensions.

I changed rooms. Moved my sewing into a large unused living room and turned the old sewing room into a new living room. Now I have floor to ceiling windows facing the river and a large flatscreen tv hanging on the wall (didn't move it) as well as 400 sq ft. of sewing room. I love it.

I put my cutting table on bed risers. Really makes a difference for me.

Also pot a small board, or whatever you can make work, under the back side of your machine to tilt it forward. On most models this will make it easier to see the needle without being humped over. I did both, it has helped me! |
I just redid my sewing room to fit my two featherweights being set up. But I had to buy bed risers for my cutting table, it was just too low and my back would ache after cutting a few things. Much better now, but I think it may be a little too high, going to ask SIL if he can cut the risers down an inch or two.

I have an ergonomic chair and lots of lights
|
A task chair. All these years I have been sitting on a wooden stool. The new chair is soooo comfortable!
|
what kind of chair did you get?
|
A new cutting table that's just the right height.
